Is this film any good? anyone seen it? they are selling it with saw3.

 

Pop onto the IMDb and check it out.. Not exactly getting complimentary reviews... Phrases like "worst movie I have ever seen" seem pretty commonplace.... :lol: Sounds to me like it's a 'straight-to-dvd' job and out of sheer desperation they're putting it out there with "Saw 3".... by the sounds of it, this DVD is potential coaster-material..... I can't see any links between these two films of any kind, not even where technicians or actors are concerned... Personally, I'd avoid, and just get the US "Saw 3 - unrated version", what seems like a good deal often can wind up with you having some really c**p film that you wouldn't want in your collection in a million years...

Thanks. Ive read 2 reviews and they really slated it too. I'll leave buying this one.
This film sounds like a loose remake of "And Soon The Darkness", a pretty well-crafted little gem of a suspense thriller (not surprising when you see the scriptwriters are two of the UK's finest screenwriters of all time - Brian Clemens and Terry Nation) made in 1970... The set-up is vaguely the same, only it's two English girls - played by Pamely Franklin and Michelle Dotrice - on a cycling holiday in rural France (cue a fair bit of 'repressed lesbianism' themes which were pretty prevalent in this sort of 1970s cinema, and also a bit of 'you aint from round here are you?' xenophobia from the locals..). The girls have an argument and one goes off on her separate way and gets abducted and killed by a sex killer, while the other girl is stalked by the same killer, but no one believes that her friend has been killed or that she is being stalked (the authorities are always incompetent and/or lazy in these types of film.. :lol: )... "And Soon The Darkness" relied on suspense, a build-up of tension and a creeping sense of paranoia to achieve its effect, as opposed to gore, which it seems is all "Blood Trails" really has going for it...
